Closing Chapter: 3 Days with DSP – Understanding Dementia with Heart

Our 3-day convention with DSP has officially come to an end — and what an inspiring journey it has been. Each day opened our eyes to the many aspects of dementia care, from understanding the condition itself to exploring new ways to bring comfort, connection, and dignity to those we care for.

The third day was especially moving. It focused on the actual work of caregivers — their daily routines, their patience, and their incredible compassion. I was also able to interview some caregivers about their personal experiences, and their stories were truly heartwarming and deeply touching. We listened to more stories of their clients, filled with challenges, resilience, and love. One of the most memorable moments was seeing patients dancing with their caregivers, smiling and laughing together. It was a powerful reminder that even in dementia, joy and connection are still possible.

I also had the opportunity to meet and take pictures as a remembrance with some remarkable doctors I newly met during the convention — professionals who share the same passion and dedication for advancing dementia care.

This convention wasn’t just about learning; it was about feeling, sharing, and being inspired by real people doing meaningful work.

As we wrap up these three unforgettable days, I carry with me a deeper respect for every caregiver and a renewed commitment to support dementia care with empathy and purpose.

Until the next DSP event — let’s keep moving forward with compassion and heart.

Mabuhay tayo g lahat!!!
